And yet, the night breeze, I sensed, it became a hurricane in the morning, my dream, in it as though truth itself, is to know that night breeze, as though in romance- to romance the mystery of the hidden truth. For I love the night breeze, which so few yet can sense.

Before noting what the Agenzia Fides the official news service of the Pontifical Missionary Society has to say, I must note that in accordance with the Witchcraft Suppression Act: I strictly oppose and decry any suggestions that any real sort of magic is being used by protesters, the protesters may believe they are using magic, due to Thai Buddhist superstition, and this is what I believe Fides is referring to: mere superstition:

The protesters' reliance on a non-existent "supernatural force", clearly shows the showmanship of a dying protest.

The person quoted is an expert in Thai culture, including their illogical superstitions.

What is notable, is that Fides article slants towards the government, and suggests that these empty symbols, such as the mass throwing of human blood on the house of the Prime Minister, seen illogically as a curse, and not just a waste of blood, in the empty and wrong Thai superstition, are signs of the protests losing weight.

"On the protest of the "red," supporters of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinavatra, which has been taking place in the capital for four days, Fr. Maier tells Fides: "It has been extremely shocking for the public. The Red Shirts have used superstition, [what Thai society wrongly believes to be rituals of] black magic [which I, dutifully, in accordance with South African law: affirms, does not exist, and is no danger to anyone!], and the use of human blood as a sign of [the protester's claiming wrongly that they are] cursing the government. The public did not appreciate these extreme gestures. Shedding of blood, the sacred symbol of life, has been decried by many and was an act harshly condemned. The Buddhist monks now want to 'remove the curse' and return 'good security' to the government palace and the house of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejajjiva, which are stained with blood."The missionary continues: "There are former communists who wish to retake the political space and the former Prime Minister Thaksin would do anything to regain power. Some analysts say his plan would be to become the first president of Thailand, displacing even the monarchy. But, the Prime Minister in office will not resign, nor does it appear that the army intends to support the protest of the 'Red.' The attempt to subvert the established order seems to have failed. This is why today, the movement works only to save their dignity and integrity, to not admit resounding defeat. ""

I repeat, neither Fides, nor their source seem to be affirming the Thai superstition, rather, they seem to be showing the symbolic meaning, in the superstitious Thai culture of the rituals engaged in by the superstitious rural protesters. The real danger of spilling blood- may be a spread of disease and unsanitary effects.

What I can say, is that I like the Catholics in Thailand pray for peace. Prayerfully a sanity will remain. Fortunately, these desperate, revolting signs, show a protest which has turned desperate.

I do not guarantee that the Vatican missionary news expert is an expert, perhaps the spilling of blood has another meaning. There certainly, I strongly note: is no witchcraft involved, whatever the protesters do or do not believe!

I have always been fascinated with the law. By chance, it happens to be my field. I am an admitted attorney of the High Court of South Africa, as of 28 January 2016.

It was my fellow students'​ suggestions, in the final years of school, that I might be suited to a career in law, along with long discussions with a friend of mine - which imbued me with a keen interest in the history, language, and laws of the Roman Empire - that made me realise that law was the choice of career that best suited the ideas and plans I had for the future. I enrolled in an LLB degree at Wits University and subsequently graduated Bachelor of Laws a few years later.

I completed, with distinction, the Law Society's Legal Education and Development (L.E.A.D) School for Legal Practice program. I am pleased to have had the privilege of having served at two very different firms during my articles, giving me a much broader experience of work in the profession.

I believe success requires not just hard work, but intelligence, perseverance, humility, integrity, ingenuity, diligence, a strong work ethic, and the courage to request the assistance of those better-versed in a matter, or field.

I am passionate about the place of my birth, South Africa and am proud to be a patriot and citizen of this diverse and beautiful nation. I consider myself a global citizen and keep connections in a number of different nations across the world. Communicating with people from other cultures, I believe, has aided me to have a more open-minded approach in so far as how I see and interact with the world.

The cultures and legal systems, morals, and courtesy systems, languages, intricacies and religions of South Africa and of the world, are subjects I love to research. I extensively enjoy reading and writing, and in keeping abreast with important events occurring in other countries, I find my knowledge of other languages, especially French, to be quite useful.
